Always worry the game before the all star break. Reason is in 1973 Concepcion got hurt in that game, and missed the remainder of the season. Would just as soon everybody rested today based on that memory.

Also interested to see if Riggleman goes for broke and uses numerous pitchers, including possibly starters, to get this sweep. Four day ASB coming up.

Root for the sweep!

Would love a big lead early and let Votto/Suarez/Scooter rest. Votto will get rest Mon and Wed/Thurs but Scooter and Suarez will be in the middle of tomorrow taking it all in.

Not a huge deal IMO but I just want the 2nd half to pick up where this has left off....not a look of the April Reds

That’s gotta be changed. Error the catcher. Awful ruling. Hamilton threw a ball 245 feet 2 feet off line and Tucker tries a swipe tag that had no chance and pitcher in wrong spot for back up.

Awful

I just assume their starters are all distracted and emotional from losing their beloved manager. Or from years of abuse by Matheny.

Even beyond that, which is a good point, I'm really not clear why Romano was the choice. You can empty the entire bullpen today and it's not like Romano is Clayton Kershaw. Why are we getting him into this game exactly?
